What will happen now that I have been diagnosed with receding gums?
Thursday, January 21st, 2010Q.
I have just returned from a routine visit to my Dentist. I know I have receeding gums & xrays show bone erosion. I smoke. I visit the hygienist every 3 months & have just had the first session of gum packing. My Dentist tells me the teeth are very clean, & have good dental hygiene. What can I expect to happen now as I gather there is no cure. Many thanks,,

What can be done for post of crown that has broken?
Thursday, January 21st, 2010Q.
What are the options once the post of a crown brakes? they are talking about an operation to push the gum & drill into the bone in order to make sure the next crown doesn’t sit directly on the bone. Any other option???? this one doesn’t sound too much fun!!!,

Would braces be suitable for me?

Dear Dr.Caplan, I am hoping you can give me some advice. About 8 years ago I had my teeth straighted, and about 2 years ago I had the fixed wire on the back of my teeth at the top removed, as I have a tight bite and it was rubbing off the fixture. Unfortunately my teeth have started to move again, and I am not sure how to fix it. I think it is one tooth at the back pushing the others but I’m not sure. Do I have to get the wire at the back fitted again, or are there any other options? I would appreciate any advice you could give me. Thanks very much, and best regards,,
